uh. I think I can't be at work anymore

[MWOS]

High dose estrogen. I'm crying at my desk right now, not sure why yet. I almost smashed my Galaxy S3 about an hour ago because it failed to send a text three times in a row. I'm lightheaded and hot and cold and I'm really concerned someone may try to speak to me soon and that will be the end for all of us.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Increased hormones are awful. Is taking today and tomorrow off an option? If not, is this something you are comfortable sharing with your boss so that they know a bit about what is going on and why your behavior might be different?

[mcsangel2]

I might really consider going home sick and calling in tomorrow, and playing next week by ear, until you know what's going on.

[MWOS]

I absolutely can't call in tomorrow. In fact, boss just came over and told me I need to be in a half hour early to open the lab.

[pedanticwench]

Oh, you poor thing. Is there any way you could go home?

[Deleted]

I'm so so sorry. My body gets jacked on estrogen reeeaallllyyyy quickly (this was my immediate thought when you posted they were putting you on it).

If you can't call out tomorrow or come in late, I would try to leave early today. Or just go for a walk, right now, for 10-15 minutes. Take a breather and take many throughout the day.

Estrogen is the worst, man

Can you take a Xanax and see if that will chill you out a bit?

[ginap]

I'm so sorry. That sounds miserable.

[MWOS]

the doctor said that if this was going to work to stop the bleeding, it would work by Saturday. So guess what? If I'm bleeding on Saturday still, this shit is history. I'm done.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Hormones can be such fuckers until you adjust to them, and that can take days or weeks. Even if you need to go in tomorrow, can you take it easy at work, like, just do that crap work that you can never get around to because you have more pressing stuff to do? And maybe leave early? There's no good solution in a situation like this; can you at least take some tylenol pm early tonight so you can at least get a good night's sleep? Gawd, my suggestions all sound so trite, but I want to help. What's your address so I can deliver some booze?

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I'm so sorry, babe. I wish I had something else to say.

[luvvy]

I want to show you something that will make you laugh but I don't want to ruin the surprise.

[berbles]

Oh Mary, I'm so sorry. I know that feel. I was on 3 months of that shit last year and I ended up having to go back on a leave of absence because I was crying at my desk every day, having hot flashes that triggered panic attacks, etc. Fucking awful.

[mrsukyankee]

I'm so sorry. I had to take hormones for four months and it did my head in. I had hot flashes, couldn't sleep (and I don't do well with sleep), couldn't process anything so I get that you just are having a tough time.

[rex]

Hormones suck.

I'm really sorry this is happening to you

[discogranny]

I'm on estrogen (and other things) right now for fertility treatment and I basically feel like bursting into tears or dismembering someone most of the time. Really either one would work.

I'm sorry you are going through such a rough patch. I hope the estrogen stops your bleeding.

[snickers]

Honestly, I don't know how anyone would function on a high dose of estrogen.
All the hugs in the world to you.

[MWOS]

I'm not what you would call "functional" right now

also, I might barf. this is a new thing. holy fuck, I haven't even had a full dose yet. Yesterday I only got 2/3 pills in

[MWOS]

DID I MENTION I CAN'T WEAR TAMPONS BECAUSE OF THE BIOPSY?

I HAVE TO SIT ALL DAY IN MY BLOOD PAD
